16 Days of Activism: Women’s economic justice for a non-violent and non-sexist SA

Pretoria - Working towards the inclusion and economic emancipation of women is key to dealing with some of the socio-economic constraints keeping women in toxic and abusive relationships.

Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, said the focus on economic emancipation was important as recent statistics revealed that half of the women died in the hands of those who claimed to love them. Nkoana-Mashabane said throughout the campaign the focus would be on the importance of women’s economic empowerment as an integral component of efforts to eradicate violence against women and children.

“One woman empowered is a family empowered and that is how she will see the signs and start making a move so that she does not die. It would enable the woman to free herself from depending on her abuser.”
